ASP.NET / JQUERY - Pass value to dialog

I am a newbie to JQuery. I have the following code in my global JQuery page - global.js.

$(".documentor").live("click", function () {
childDialog("/common/HelpfulHints.aspx?q=" + $(this).attr("id"), "Add New Documentation " + " - " + $(this).attr("id").replace("_", " "), 500, 450, parent.main);

I want to pass a value from any page the user is currently on (that calls childDialog) to the Dialog page - /common/HelpfulHints.aspx

For example, I would like to pass the value of alert($(this).attr("id") or escape(document.location.pathname)) to a TextBox (txtHHElementID) on /common/HelpfulHints.aspx

How is this done?

What is the problem?

Looks ok to me except .live() is deprecated.

I would format the code better

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".documentor").live("click", function () {
    var URL = "/common/HelpfulHints.aspx?q=" + 
       $(this).attr("id"), "Add New Documentation " + 
       " - " + $(this).attr("id").replace("_", " ")
    childDialog(URL , 500, 450, parent.main);
  });
});

Open in new window
